Failed RMAN Duplicate from NON-RAC to RAC-ASM

Hi All!
Is it possible to resume a failed RMAN Duplicate? Database is 10gR2.
Please advice...
Regards,
cmadiam

Once you fix the disk group name you can run the duplicatie, it should work fine.
Please refer the link

Hope this helps,

Cleaning up ASM disk group after failed rman duplicate session?

I am using rman duplicate to create a clone of a production database. The rman duplicate failed in phase 1 (retoration of datafiles) and my datafile are being restored to an ASM diskgroup.
I read in the metalink note Manual Completion of a Failed RMAN Duplicate [ID 360962.1] the following...
Note : From 10g onwards, if duplicate failed during step 1, which is the restore of datafiles, it is probably best to restart the duplicate process. Any files that have already been restored will be skipped and the duplicate process can continue without manual intervention
So I followed the advice in the note and started the rman duplcate script over again from the beggining. I am hoping it will have the intelligence to skip any files that have already been restored but if it is not since this is 10.1.0.3 and I cannot use the asmcmd command to connect to the ASM instance to delete any files that have been created then how can I delete and of the files since the database instance never got created correctly and cannot open?
Any thought on how I can now cleanup the files in the ASM disk group? Also, has anyone started an rman duplicate again after it has previously failed and did it actually skip the files that are already there as stated in the metalink note?
Thanks.

Unfortunately the v$asm_file does not have the entire file name or path it just gives you the follwing...
SQL> desc v$asm_file
Name Null? Type

FILE_NUMBER NUMBER
COMPOUND_INDEX NUMBER

This really stinks I wish I didn't have to work with 10gr1 at all but the database I am trying to move to a ew server and new storage is running this version and we did not want to upgrade the existing database first before attempting the migration because it is reliant upon tape backups which I do not have alot of confidence in...

RMAN duplicate from RAC with ASM to RAC with ASM

I'm still reading and trying to figure out how to duplicate...and I'm finding that there are some extra considerations you have to work with with doing a RAC system.
Does anyone have any good links to articles/docs that spell out what to do in this scenario?
I'm wanting to duplicate from tape backups, using NO connectivity to the source/target....
My tape backups do include the spfile and control files (autobackup) from the source.
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

Possibly you are confusing a database with a database.
A RAC database is a just a database. What is different is the instances, the clusterware, and the storage: For example ASM.
A backup is a backup is a backup.
Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do, on what hardware, operating system, version, and edition.
RMAN can not create an instance either RAC or stand-alone.Thank you for the reply.
I have my source system, OS = RHEL5, running Oracle 11Gr2...5 node RAC cluster.
I'm doing RMAN backups to tape...hourly arch. logs, Daily incremental lvl=1 backups and weekly incremental lvl=0
None of the tape backups have ever been tested for restoring...and I've never restored a database myself before, total noob here.
I have a test area I've set up. I have a 2 node RAC cluster, running 11Gr2 and OS=RHEL5.
The tape is accessible from both systems.
I am wanting to test the tape backups...and thought the RMAN DUPLICATE process would be the way to go.
I am wanting to NOT connect to the source database...trying to simulate somewhat of a disaster recovery scenario. I'm only wanting to use tape backup, and the test area for the auxiliary instance.
So far what I've seen I need to learn to do is something like:
1. Create a password file for new aux database to be duplicated to
2. Establish Net connectivity...
3. Create initial parameter file for aux instance
Due to a bug in note:334899.1, add this (because of RAC system)
norecovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE
4. Start aux instance NOMOUNT
Everything I'm reading though...is basically doing this from single instance to single instance...and what little info I've seen on doing it from RAC, indicates there are some differences. The "_no_recovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE" is one thing I found...but wondering what else.
Also, so many of the examples I'm finding...are doing the duplication connecting to the target/source...and also doing backups to disk rather than tape...
Right now, I'm at #1...trying to figure what to put into an init pfile...I'm seeing DB_name, which will be the same as the one I'm cloning from.
I'm not sure what else....
I'm wondering if this is necessary..since on the tape backups from the source...I backup the SPFILE...can that not be used somehow in this?
I'm seeing for the init file, examples show that I need to put in entries for control files and redo logs....if the source system was down and gone...how would I know where these were on the old system? This isn't documented anywhere....is there a way to do this if you didn't know.
If not..guess I need to go through all systems and document the layouts of where everything is located.
Also...most examples I'm finding, in addition to being single instance backup and restore/duplication...they are all using regular file systems....not much to go on with using ASM.
Anyway, I'm trying to learn here...and am having trouble finding examples to go from that match my setup.
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

Restore RAC database from non-RAC source - EBS R12.1.1

We have restored (PIT) a RAC database from a non-RAC (but ASM) source and I was wondering if that was a reasonable thing to do.
The reason I ask is that I seem to remember that in the upgrade to R12.1.1 the upgrade driver had a different list of jobs to do when the target was RAC vs when it was non-RAC... so is it possible the EBS R12.1.1 code is different for RAC (meaning we dont have the right code base in the DB since we restored a non-RAC source to a RAC destination)?
Disclaimer - I am NOT a DBA .. just trying to identify some potential problems we are troubleshooting.
Thanks in advance!
EBS R12.1.1
OEL 5
11gR2

We have a RMAN back up of the non-RAC database that was restored and PIT recovered on the RAC database.Is it a full database backup?
The "code" base I am referring to is all the db stored objects for R12 EBS .. database compiled code.Restoring the RMAN backup on the target node is not enough. Have you run AutoConfig or postclone? Does your instance know that this is a a single instance and not a RAC one?
I am nervous that there may be alternate versions of the code to run in RAC vs non-RAC .. for instance I know that some of the ASCP jobs use DBMS PIPES and that can be tricky with RAC and Concurrent Manager.. And when we did the upgrade to R12, pointing it @ RAC generated more and different jobs than when it was not pointed @ RAC .. so SOMETHING was different according to the APPS ADPATCH/ADADMIN utilities.Please explain in details what is the purpose of doing this restore and what exactly you are trying to achieve. What cloning procedure you follow to refresh the target instance?
Thanks,
Hussein

RMAN duplicate from ACTIVE DATABASE

Hi,
I am trying to create a new 11.2.0.1 database by duplicating an existing 11.2.0.1 database using Rman with 'from active database' option.
I have created a password file and listener is configured as well.
The aux database is started in nomount state.
rman
connect target sys/pwd123@SRCDB
connect auxiliary sys/pwd123@AUXDB
duplicate target database to AUXDB
FROM ACTIVE DATABASE;
This fails saying that "ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections" which is quite normal given that the listener is havig a handle in BLOCKED state for this AUXDB as it is in NOMOUNT state.
Could you please help me on how to proceed?
One option can be to create the controlfile manually and mount the instance before doing the duplicate. I hope Rman can continue from there.
Another option is to go for backup based duplicate.
Is there any other way to go?
Regards,
Aravind

Provide static registration on AUXILIARY side for your auxiliary instance and try again.For example change listener.ora file as
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = AUXDB)
      (ORACLE_HOME = <your oracle home>)
      (SID_NAME = AUXDB)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <auxiliary host/ip>)(PORT = 1521))
)And restart listener on auxiliary host then try again

RMAN duplicate from Windows Oracle10 to AIX Oracle11

Is it possible to use RMAN duplicate to duplicate a database from Windows Oracle10 to AIX Oracle11? If not what is the reason it won't work?
Additionally if it won't work what other options are there besides export, ftp, import or export/import over sqlnet.

For each architecture Oralce build their own binaries. (i.e Processor Power have different binaries from Processor Intel)
For some architectures, Oracle succeeded in creating compatibility between some different architectures, the Table on note 413484.1 describe it.
Oracle has certified to use AIX (Power) with Solaris (SPARC), but because of bug (12702521) Oracle reported it's no longer certified.
In your case (AIX) there is no compatibility with others plataform. AIX binaries is compatible only with itself. (e.g Processor Power 4 with Processor Power 7)
You have some options Oracle Golden Gate, Oracle Streams, export/import or Transportable Tablespace.
Additionally if it won't work what other options are there besides export, ftp, import or export/import over sqlnet.Try it:

target: hzdbacoe 11.2.0.3
auxiliary: dbacoe 11.2.0.3
发生情景
将旧库home目录Clone到同机另一文件夹并做完所有操作后，欲进行duplicate
在新home目录中
1.新建pfile initdbacoe.ora如下
DB_NAME=dbacoe
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u03/apps/oracle/oradata/hzdbacoe/,/u03/app/oracle/oradata/dbacoe/)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u03/apps/oracle/oradata/hzdbacoe/,/u03/app/oracle/oradata/dbacoe/)
2.新建orapw file=orapwdbacoe.ora password=oracle
3.mkdir -p $ORACLE_BASE/oradata/dbacoe并赋好权限
4.根据该pfile起至 nomount阶段instance为dbacoe
5.在该目录的listener.ora中新建一个监听，并将dbacoe服务注册进入该监听，端口为1530
在原库所在环境变量中
修改tnsname.ora 加入dbacoe信息如下：
dbacoe =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxxx.xxx.xxx)(PORT = 1530))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = dbacoe)
[]rman

RMAN>duplicate target database to dbacoe from active database nofilenamecheck;(ps:之前第一次有运行过一次duplicate，未加nofilenamecheck，报错后加上）
结果在复制oradata文件时报错如下

找到原因了，还是官方文档看得不仔细
2.At the RMAN prompt, run CONNECT commands for the database instances required for your duplication technique:
◦For active database duplication, you must connect to the source database as TARGET and to the auxiliary instance as AUXILIARY. You must use the same SYSDBA password for both instances and must supply the net service name to connect to the AUXILIARY instance. A recovery catalog connection is optional

Database migration from non rac and non asm to RAC database with ASM

HI,
i have requirement to import one database ( db1) which running one node with out ASM and with out RAC , now i want to import that database with rman backup to another database ( db2) which running on different server with 3 node RAC and ASM ( disk group +DATA ) , can you please provide me the steps how i can migrate.? ( i have created db2 with dbca with RAC).
regards,
sri

Sri,
This could be done multiple ways. Simplest for you is to use DBCA:

Convert from Non-RAC to RAC-What should be the approach?

Hi All,
We have a single node installation with EBS 11.5.10.2 and 9iR2 db.
Our requirement is to upgrade the db to 10gR2 and implement RAC.
I am really confused as to how should we proceed with this.
1.If we upgrade the database to 10g first,can it be converted to RAC after this upgradation?If yes then how do we do it??Using rconfig???
2.What exactly we need to do regarding the filesystem?At which step this conversion has to be done??
3.If our current filesystem is raw,then at which point we need to convert it to ASM/OCFS??ie before upgrading the db or after it is upgraded to 10g??
Looking forward for inputs..
Thanks in advance.

You can do it either way. It kind of depends on your requirements. Do you have minimal downtime requirements to meet? Do you have the ability to set up you hardware at your leisure, or do you have to reuse your current hardware? Given all the time and hardware I needed, I would do it like this:
1. Acquire the new hardware.
2. Configure the hardware and shared storage.
3. Install clusterware.
4. Install Oracle 10gr2.
5. Backup your old instance.
6. Migrate your old database using export/import or whatever method you like.
Whatever method you choose, it is vital that you rehearse on a non-critical instance to make sure your methodology is valid.

Rman Duplicate from a different directory

Hi all,
I have a production backup taken in '/u01' mount point. I need to duplicate the production db to a development environment. But what is lack is the mount point. I dont have the '/u01' mount point in my development environment. Is there a possibility to duplicate the auxillary database without the mount point , i.e., the mount point different from '/u01'.
Please help me with this?

On Unix / Linux, it is quite easy to create a soft-link /u01 (or /u01/backup if your backuppieces are under /u01/backup) to point to the directory where you have actually copied the backuppieces.
Lookup the man pages for "ln" or talk to your Unix/Linux administrator.

Creating a Non-RAC ASM 10gR2 instance in Solaris 10 (x86)

DB Version:10gR2
OS: Solaris 5.10 for x86 (Installation DVD released on June 2006)
I have decided to remove the windows installation in my old laptop.I am going to install only Solaris 10 (x86) in this to create an ASM instance.
My laptop has a single IDE Harddrive. Is it possible to create ASM slices on this ?

Bjoern, Rajesh,
Thank your both very much.
Bjoern,
I have downloaded the latest solaris 10 for x86 (sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso) from sun/oracle website . Need to write this to a DVD and test the installation.

Non RAC to RAC using RMAN

Hi All Oracle Guru's!
I have an environment right now which consists of non rac and rac databases.
What I want to do now is duplicate my non rac database going to the rac instance using RMAN duplicate. The rac instance is freshly configured.
How can this be done? Is there any other options? Im using 10gr2.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance!

I have an environment right now which consists of non rac and rac databases.
What I want to do now is duplicate my non rac database going to the rac instance using RMAN duplicate. The rac instance is freshly configured.
How can this be done? Is there any other options? Im using 10gr2.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance!Do an RMAN restore on node 1 for example. that should work.

Failed RMAN Duplicate from NON-RAC to RAC-ASM
